I was really looking forward to last weekend to see if my side effects would change with my dose reduction. The good news is that I didn’t have my normal GI issues. So exciting! Unfortunately it was replaced by what I thought was a cold so I still spent the weekend sleeping. I just can’t win.
On Monday I didn’t like the color of what I was coughing up so I called the doctor. And, after many tests, they determined that I had pneumonia. Again. Luckily it was early so I could treat it at home. I’ve decided that calling early is the key to staying out of the hospital.
This also means skipping a dose of chemo to be sure I don’t get knocked back down. That doesn’t make me happy, but maybe it means I’ll feel more like myself for a bit?
I’m generally feeling better now, but need to build my energy back up. Little things are exhausting. I’m so frustrated by my limits. Hopefully summer will allow me to stay healthy enough to get active. It is time to get back to experiencing all the things.
